OK, maybe this is a local joke that only I appreciate. BUT this really happened.

We were out visiting a couple of farmers about them experimentally growing some medicinal plants in a rural part of our rural state. Discussing current news, I made the comment that our "tourism councils" should adverstize our area as a "low terrorism community" since this area would be dead last on any target list that ben Laden could have imagined.

One of the farmers interrupted saying "Oh, I don't know - we've got our own terrorists in these parts" I bit, saying "what are you talking about" And he responded "Well, theres ben drinkin, and then theres bin loafin... And we interrupted saying that we supposed ben workin had left these parts for Memphis several years ago.

From the Federalist Chronicle, quoting one of the supremes:
